11. Well, would 2021 work better?

Becajse that is the alternative. Im no expert, but from what they say it is highly unusual for scotus to hear a case in the same term it is presented, especially this far into the term when the calander is already set.

So normally, if they agree to hear a case mid term, it would not be heard until the following term, which starts in october.

So hearing arguments in open court in jan or feb is a BIG deal.

Also, while the decision is due by june, it doesnt have to be in the last wave of decisions. They could issue it earlier.

But it is still possible they will pass on hearing the case, in which event the op would be correct.

There is no dispute in the circuits to resolvr here. All of the decisions have been united. There is no case law in dispute; the doj and trumps lawyers are claiming privelage that doesnt exist.

If 4 justices vote to hear the case, it will be a combination of delay and wanting to deliver a make no mistake decision. To do otherwise would largely disable two branches of govt.
